[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-1501) insert long string (more than 32700) fails on derby

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1501?page=c... ] Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-1501: ------------------------------------- Hibernate does not take into account the length/scale/precision nor the dialect when determining the Hibernate Type to use for a property which omitted specifying one. What it does is to basically choose a default based solely on the Java type. Using that it performs a lookup via a call to TypeFactory.heuristicType. What we'd need to do here is to inject a process that consults the dialect based on the sql-type (from the resolved Hibernate Type) and length and asks whether it should use an alternate Hibernate Type (aka, instead of StringType[String->VARCHAR] use MaterializeClobType[String->CLOB] because the length exceeded some limit for that dialect. That I'd be OK with. Problem is that the dialect is not known when we are doing this process :( This is something I plan on addressing, but not until 3.7 or later. See HHH-2578 for the details of that -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
